Agreed about Clifford and trying Joey Anderson for more than one game. However, Simmonds has barely been a passable NHLer this season. I think they need someone like a prime Colton Orr. Barely an NHLer as well but at least he would fight and stick up for his teammates. Simmonds hasn't done it enough against the big tough teams that rough up the Leafs. He's been picking his spots. A guy in his position should play gritty every game.
If they have any balls or heart they gotta show up here. Unfortunately I think they'll get their shit pushed in
It was pretty annoying to watch, especially when they ignored how many other similar plays. But done is done, at least we have a different goalie in net today so there's something.
Not sure if Joey Anderson is the right guy to have on the team right now, if the priority is sticking up for teammates. Maybe Curtis Douglas. We should have 4-5 veterans/prospects in the AHL with that capability, but not going to happen with Dubas at the helm. Teams we might meet in the playoffs will be taking liberties with our team of (mostly) snowflakes from here to the playoffs. Is there no one in the organization to teach the players grit and fighting skills? Even Dave Schultz didn't start out tough.
Those games were all prior to us having sub.900 goaltending lol
Totally agree with rrrrthang milord. Clifford has to show his guts at a place like this. Simmonds now sitting on dubs.... we'll see how it goes. I don't like the lack of talk we ain't have now neither. Expecting a very, very big night by our captain silencio also.
No him and Dermott are both scratched, but it's a positive sign. He seems to be progressing well.
Totally milord. Looking to it sire. Also uh, what is our first powerplay unit tonight?
Might have been a respect thing for Mrazek since it’s an outdoor game and he’s been in the league longer.
I would prefer he doesnt get lit up for 8 goals, but I wont blame one thing on him regardless.
